Let Me Have a Mild
CIGAR.

TINHE ABOVE REQUEST IS HEARD DAILY
i i'll cigar stores, saloons and other places
where cigars are sold, for it is an undisputed
fact that most smokers prefer mild cigar, and
strong cigars, principally imported Havanas,
will, after having thoroughly Injured the stom-
ach aud impaired the nervous system, surely
want mild cigar, if they could find the right
kind
How many thousands of smokers who suffer
from loss of appetite headache, nervous irrita-
bility asthma, ETC., and who have tried all pos
sible remedies without success, might be cured
If they knew that their sufferings were caused
by the incorporate Use Of strong cigars, and
that they should only smoke mild and properly
prepared ones.
1t is a fact that not all mild cigars agree well
with smokers, for in most cases there is lack
of care in the selection OF the tobacco. and often
the necessary experience Tor it is wanting, yet
there is one brand which suits the most fas-

Wages Id Saving Women.

"Do You know what sewing women

looking woman yesterday.
''No; tell me about it.

A resident of Memphis, Mo-, erected
on his lawn large bird house, intended
as the summer house of flock of mar
tins. Il was a three-story affair, and
three varieties OF birds inhabited it
martins, bluebirds and sparrows. The
numbers we're about equal. The mixture
Of breeds did not appear to cause discon-
tent for long time Each bird nation
gathered sticks and straw and other
ifssst--;-fz-fsr-aests, and harmony pre-
vailed fo- weeks One day, however,
this gentleman's family discovered that
there was something wrong with the in
habitants of the airy house on the lawn.
There was unusual commotion, squall-
ing, pcckng and fluttering which de-
noted trouble in the hitherto happy fam
liz. A close watch brought the further
discovery that the martins and blnebird
had joined forces and were making a
mighty effort TO drive the sparrows of
the premises The sparrows battled
pluekily for their home, but were in the
end doomed to defeat and ignominious
fight. Opposite the lawn in neighbor's
yard stood several large oaks. A mall
colony Of blnejays had pre-empted home:
there The sparrows, on being forced
from homes and nests, took refuge in the
oaks. Their advent was followed by
bird chatter, and chirp, and sluall, par.
tieipsted in by both sparrows and jays.
The noise attracted the family, and now
two households were watching with in
:erest the action of the winged tribes.
Shortly the sparrows. seemingly escorted
by a number OF the jays, returned to the
lawn and home. This WIS followed by
a convention of bird music, in which the
iays took the prominent part. By and

How Phil sheridan Became a soldier

1t is q well known fact that General
Sheridan's parents were people in very
humble circumstances, and that his IA
Their had hard struggle to support and
educate his large family, and it was nee.
essary for the boys early in life to seek
employment in order that they might
support themselves and assist their IA
Their as much as possible. They were all
unusually bright and industrious, and
were not only willing but anxious to do
all they could.
At the time of which we write the
Lancaster (Ohio) Congressional District,
in which old Mr.. Sheridan and his fam
lily resided, was represented by Demo-
crat. This member was entitled to the
appointment of a cadet at the West Point
Military Academy, as were all other
members under the law. Before he had
made selection, however, two of his
constituents, both friends of his, very
wealthy, each concluded that he would
like to have his son receive the appoint.
ment, and accordingly each started out
among his friends in the district TO OBJ
tain recommendations to the member Of
Congress for the appointment of his son.
The men were both well liked, and, as
consequence, through their determined
efforts, almost all OF the people in tho
district had taken sides. and tire Con-
gresham was pressed upon all sides to
appoint one or the other. He was in a
dilemma; to appoint either would bring
theenmity of the other and all his friends.
He concluded he would advise with Thos.
Ewing, one of Ohio's greatest men, who
was then n Senator and resided in
the town of Lancaster Accordingly
he went TO the Senator's house and ex-
p'ained the situation TO him After
thinking the matter over for a moment,
the senator said, "If were in your place
/ would not appoint either of these boys
l would select some poor mans son and
friends would be glad that you did not
appoint the others son, and the who's
people of the district wouid applaud you
for sending poor boy" That's cap
ital idea - remarked the now delighted
member, as he saw way out OF the diff

was employed by Senator Ewing, walked
into the diuing-room where the two
were sitting. with some stove wood in
his arms. There" said the senator,

A recent copy of an Indiana paper con-
tains the following paragraph:
Married. - BY the Rev. DR. Tunbull.
George a Dawson, OF Louis ana, TO Mis-
Alice Lemon, OF Washington, d. C.
This marriage is the sequal to an I'M
usually romantic story. George Dawson,
ayoung Captain in the Confederate army,
lay seriously injured in 1854, prisoner
of war, in the United States Hospital at
indianapolis. One of the ladies who Wis.
tied the hospital frequently and admin
lstered alike TO the wearers Of the blue
and the gray was Mrs. Gray, this
wealthy widow of Union officer. In
these visits Mrs. Lemon was usually ac-
companied by her daughter Alice, then a
little miss Of ten EsrcE = FIST friend
ship sprung up bdween the young Com
federate and the little Union girl, which
continued some mcaths until the former
was exchanged and sent back to his reg
iment.
Seven years ago Mrs Lemon died. and
Miss Alice, through the efforts OF her
friends. secured a clerkship in one of the
Washington departments. Her health
gradually failed, and last October she re-
signed her position and vent West to re-
side with relatives. The announcement
of her resignation was printed in one OF
the New Orleans papers, where 1t met
the eye OF Captain Dawson, now Dig
niied bachelor Of middle age and one OF
the richest planters on the Lower Missis-
sippi. Captain Dawson Immediately
wrote Miss l.emca and asked her if shs
was his little sweetheart of former years,
ard If so by what caprice Of fortune she
had been thrown upon her own resources.
Miss Lemon answered the Csr.ein, de-
falling their financial losses. at the
time OF the Jay Cooke failure and the sub
seqnent death of her mother. Captain
Dawson thereupon mailed the lady a
check for 81, 600, which he begged her to
accept as a slight recompense for her
mothers kindness to him while . priss
oner of war. Miss Lemon returned the
check, saying that under no circum-
stances could she receive it.
Captain Dawson then came North to
sec if he could not personally prevail
upon the lady to accept his assistance.
He went to Indiana, intending to stop
only couple OF days, but he remained
month. aud when he returned he carried
with him Northern bride to grace hi:

as trimmings for mantles and dresses. 1t
is pretty and inexpensive.
The newest plaids have grounds of
solid colors, crossed with faint lines OF
white, gray, wine or old gold.
The sides of many draperies are orna-
inented with crocheted or worked CIR
dies, covered with cut-Iet heads.
